Old man turns the lights down low
Ready to start his narration
Racking memory for the shades of death
Six-feet-under revelations
So bitter and so wrong
To see them pass
And leave him all alone
I'll wait for you, please wait for me, that's what she said
So chilling strange to catch her gleam when she is dead
It's never late to admit mistakes
But no time left to change direction
He's not the man who will forgive
That his life was far from perfection
Now he's ready to accept
Her love was just a strong affection
So bitter and so cold
To play that part
Knowing he is old
I'll wait for you, please wait for me, that's what she said
So chilling strange to catch her gleam when she is dead

Once you knew how to feel but those days are gone
Only discipline still can turn you on
Order and advance, records to achieve
Sticking to the plan you forgot to live
Believing and dreaming is not in your manner
You're prudish, rule-bound and fanatical planner
Risk and surprises have no chance to catch you
You're living and dying according to schedule
You're afraid to be hurt so you sink the boat
But it's our pain that keeps us afloat
Believing and dreaming is not in your manner
You're prudish, rule-bound and fanatical planner
Risk and surprises have no chance to catch you
You're living and dying according to schedule
You don't expect it soon
You'll try to be ahead
But in your cocoon
You're already dead

If you really want to know the answer
Try to cross your frontier
Morals left you bound and suffocated
Take the risk, face the fear
Are you ready to commit a murder
Just to have your pain released?
Nothing matters but survival instinct
Drop the sense, free the beast
There's no such shame to disgrace your name x3
No one to blame in this slaughterous game
Do you really know the worth of freedom
The supreme sacrifice
Deathly game for either all or nothing
Make your move, roll the dice
Have you ever dreamt of restitution,
Integrity you call regress?
Through the wrecking and dissosiation
Your defeat will mean success
There's no such shame to disgrace your name x3
No one to blame in this slaughterous game

Neither asleep, nor awake, just catatonic
My impassibility starts to seem eerily chronic
Numb, paralized, i'm a goner in disguise
If I was a canary, I'd leave my little cage and fly away
If I was a human, I'd slip this body off and flit away
Seconds dissolve, darkness creeps, slumber is over
Spectres arrive and shade away in moonlit hover
Guilt fills the space with a strangling embrace
If I was a canary, I'd leave my little cage and fly away
If I was a human, I'd slip this body off and flit away
Stuck in my room in the dreamtime gloom
Unable to defy simple question of why
If I was a child, I'd trade my blessed years for little sleep
If I was a grown-up I'd never make a promise I cannot keep
If I was a canary, I'd leave my little cage and fly away
If I was a human, I'd slip this body off and flit away

My little shell swallows the sun
I have what I need, my duties are done
Hiding, escaping unhurt
Ignoring your scorn and the eyes you avert
Grated windows and concrete walls
Inner stronghold never falls
Take all glory I fail to claim
And forget my name
I've nothing to give but won't ever ask
Can't show you my face, just pick any mask
Spare me your pity and blame
I'll be content indulging in shame
Grated windows and concrete walls
Inner stronghold never falls
Take all glory I fail to claim
And forget my name
